Village Girl Struggle

Chapter 55: Master and apprentice

After the birthday banquet, Zhao Er's gaffe in front of the noble sons greatly angered Zhao Dehua and Mrs. Zhao, and gave Miss Zhao Er a punishment of 20 hands and a full year of imprisonment. Mrs. Zhao also scolded Aunt Mei in public, saying that she was an underwhelming bitch, and she didn't take any of the girls in Zhao's mansion.

Although Mrs. Zhao hates Zhao Meng for losing the face of the Zhao family, she thinks about Zhao Mengjing’s matter, and it’s even harder to find a good marriage. Even with Aunt Mei, she can’t end up well. This is really like three. Drinking ice dew in Futian, I feel refreshed.

What's more, at the birthday banquet, her own daughter, Zhao Ying, was generous and decent. She also got along well with Yunsang and Yunliu, the two young ladies of the Yun family. According to Zhao Ying, Yunsang also mentioned that she would pick up Zhao Ying in a few days. I'm staying in Yunfu for a day or two.

Thinking of the four noble sons currently living in the Baoguo Mansion, Mrs. Zhao only felt that her daughter's good future could be regarded as victory in sight. In addition, I can watch the good show of Mei's mother and daughter, although I can't show it on the face, my heart is full of joy, and it's not rare to even talk about falling into the ground.

Aunt Mei with disheveled hair, knelt on her knees, crying and crying, expressing her low life and not regretting her death, she was willing to be beaten on behalf of Zhao Meng, but she wanted not to hurt the second lady. His eyes flowed across waves and the look of weakness and helplessness still made Zhao De soften his heart a bit, and reduced the punishment on Zhao Meng.

Of course, with the old lady and wife of the Zhao mansion staring at her, Aunt Mei could not escape the charge of instigating the second lady, and she was also imprisoned for half a year.

As for the change of the daughter of Xiaohouye’s daughter, Zhao Dehua and Mrs. Zhao both thought that it was mostly the noble son who came to make fun. They didn’t think much about it, but Mrs. Zhao had heard about it, so they ordered Jiang Ying to call and want to see it. See what is special about this girl.

Jiang Ying was called to the Cichun Academy, knowing that it was mostly for that matter, and he didn't clean it up, so he passed by.

It’s not that Mrs. Zhao has never seen Jiang Ying. Jiang Ying often follows Zhao Xi. Sometimes when Zhao Xi asks Mrs. Zhao for peace, she will also take Jiang Ying as an attendant. However, most of the time when Li Hong is with him.

Mrs. Zhao looked at Jiang Ying carefully, and saw that although Jiang Ying was not low, she was slightly taller than the usual nine-year-old girl, but she looked very ordinary, and she was still young, and her facial features were not fully developed. The child, dressed in the usual clothes in the mansion, is not old, and there is no flower arrangement on his head. It is really impossible to find it after throwing it into the pile of girls.

Only then did I believe that Xiaohouye was indeed joking. If the Zhao family is the one who can tear off their skin in order to cling to power, it is estimated that even if they know that Lord Hou is joking, they will rush to send this little girl. As for the fate of this little girl after it is sent, no one will care about the fate of this little girl. . Fortunately, the Zhao family was still willing to put on a solemn face, so Jiang Ying temporarily escaped the fate of being given away.

Mrs. Zhao also let her daughter-in-law Wang control her, not to let the matter of that day be passed on indiscriminately.

But privately, what happened that day in the young master’s courtyard still spread throughout the Zhao Mansion. How did the second young lady fail to flatter her, the girl Chunliu wanted to climb high and was beaten in the face, and the daughter of the young master wanted to be replaced but couldn’t do this. It was reported. He has a nose and eyes, as if everyone had seen it with his own eyes.

The second young lady is being restrained, and she is even more ill with anger when she hears these rumors.

Although girl Chunliu is careful, she can be regarded as her duty to deliver tea, but it is fair. Therefore, she has not been punished. There are just rumors saying that she has a whole mind to indulge in nobles, but does not look at her talents. Unworthy, Chunliu, who heard these rumors, was so embarrassed that he took sick leave and lay in the house, not daring to come out to see people for a few days.

But the people in Zhao Xi's yard were a little bit happy.

Because of the phrase "the people in a courtyard are talented people who don’t change their talents", these girls who usually don’t have a sense of presence in the house are a little proud: let you look down on us at ordinary times and see if the nobles are here. If you don’t go anywhere, just come to our courtyard. People in our courtyard don’t need to come forward to get the eyes of the nobles. The one in the outer courtyard, dressed as a flower, is crying and shouting at the nobles. Can't look down on it!

Hey, this is the gap! Don't think that we are a slave who only receives a few dozen pennies a month. The nobleman wants to replace us with a treasure, and the young master can't bear it! Alas, speaking of it, the masters of these yards still miss the old love the most!

Jiang Ying was thankful that he was not taken away by the little monkey master. When he saw that face, he was restless. A little girl who followed him must be a bad prospect. It is better to stay here with Xiao Zhaoxi. Some.

On the first day of each month's vacation, Jiang Ying went out of the house again, and after selling the embroidery, he went to search for Wei Haoge in Shuangyu Alley in the south of the city.

Knowing the address, Jiang Ying looked for a place without much effort. Seeing that the original door had been demolished, it was rebuilt with blue bricks and changed into two small doors, and two more doors were opened on the side. The first courtyard house was changed into four small houses, and the doors were all opened separately. Jiang Ying looked for someone to ask before finding the small wooden door on the side.

This wooden door is narrow and only allows one person to enter. I am afraid that if the person who comes is slightly taller and fatter, they will be stuck.

But the door itself is very thick, with iron sheets in many places, and there are two peepholes in the upper part.

Of course, the other end of the peephole is blocked, so you can only look from the inside out, and you can't see the inside from the outside.

Jiang Ying nodded secretly, saying that this little guard was really alert.

I reached out and knocked on the door a few times, and heard a barking dog barking inside.

The footsteps sounded immediately, but after a while, a light flashed from the peephole, and then the small door opened from the inside.

After dozens of days of absence, Wei Haoge seemed to be a little fatter again. Seeing Jiang Ying coming, his eyes were shining, and the corners of his lips were smiling.

"Are you here? Come in and have a look."

Although this place was taken care of by him alone, theoretically it belonged to the owner Jiang Ying, and it happened to allow the employer to look at the achievements of his subordinate.

Jiang Ying entered the yard. As expected, the separated yard was so small that he could see all of it at a glance. A narrow aisle could barely be used as a yard, and a small shed was built with firewood at the end of the aisle.

A black figure rushed over from the shed, and was yelled at by Wei Haoge, then squatted at Wei Haoge's feet, sticking out his tongue and tilting his head to look at Jiang Ying, who was a half-large black dog.

Looking at this small courtyard, it was cleaned up, and there was a room next to it, with the door open.

Oh, but for dozens of days, this kid has a very moisturizing life, and he has even raised a dog!

Jiang Ying couldn't help but smiled, "Where did you get the dog? Does it bite?"

Wei Haoge scratched his head, "It's a wild dog without a master, so I picked it up and looked at the door. It's quite obedient, so if you don't bite, you won't bite."

Speaking of patting the black dog's head, the black dog lied obediently on the ground, staring at the two with only two round eyes, his tail wagging leisurely in the air.

Jiang Ying suddenly felt that these two looked alike.

Jiang Ying took out a snack from his purse, broke it into pieces, and fed it to the black dog. The black dog's eyes lit up, with the snack in his mouth, stood up, chewing and wagging his tail happily.

Wei Haoge looked a little bit sorrowful, this dead sunspot! The taste is better than myself. This month, I haven't been willing to eat snacks yet!

"Uh, I sold all those pills. I got two taels of silver in total."

Jiang Ying took the purse from the Wei Hao singer and poured it out to see that there were bits and pieces of silver corners, copper coins, and so on. There were two taels of silver in rough calculations.

Jiang Ying smiled and said, "Oh, Xiaowei, you are so capable, I'm afraid no one wants to buy it."

After all, Wei Haoge didn't open a drugstore. If people don't believe it, no matter how good this cough pill is, it is no good.

I was about to ask how Wei Haoge did it. I glanced up and down, and then I noticed that Wei Haoge had changed his outer robe, a half-old cyan robe, and a Taoist bun on his head, and he got a pair. Hemp shoes, if you hold a whisk in your hand, you will be a Taoist boy alive.

"You, you are..."

Pointing at Wei Haoge, Jiang Ying was surprised. When did Wei Haoge see Hong Chen and escape into the empty door?

Wei Haoge smiled suddenly, "This is..."

He was about to explain, but he heard the sound of a door slamming outside the door, "Little Master, Little Master! Are you here?"

But it was the voice of a half-old woman.

Jiang Ying's dazed work saw that Wei Haoge had already patted the black dog on the head, so he ran to open the door without letting it bark.

But she was a woman in her forties, and her clothes were ordinary. As soon as she came in, she asked anxiously, "Little Master, do you have any of your Master’s Baihua Qingxie pills? Sell it to me. My cousin coughs badly, and waits. Use it!"

Wei Haoge smiled and said, "Granny Li, wait a moment, I'll go in and ask Master."

With that, he looked at Jiang Ying, winked, and motioned Jiang Ying to follow into the house.

Jiang Ying entered the room and knew that Wei Hao must be out of medicine, so he handed him a packet of medicine he had brought. Wei Haoge took the five pills, found the yellow paper bag in the room, and made a Gestures signaled Jiang Ying to wait in the house, and then went out with the pills.

Listening to Wei Haoge talking to the woman outside, he explained various precautions.

"Auntie, this medicine should be taken on an empty stomach before taking it, abstain from meaty during the day, sleep early at night, don't be overjoyed, keep warm, change clothes frequently, and ventilate the room..."

After a lot of talks came down to the truth, the woman repeatedly said yes, and then paid the money and left.

Jiang Ying listened happily, huh, he didn't expect this Xiaowei to be a master at fooling people. In just a few days, there will be a regular source of customers.

Wei Haoge sent the aunt off, closed the door and turned back into the house. Then he said to Jiang Ying, "If you don't pretend to be a Taoist priest, who would believe that my kid's medicine is useful."

He pointed to the corner of the room, "That person is the master I specially invited."

Jiang Ying found out that in this room converted from the kitchen, there was a bed at one end, and where Wei Haoge pointed, there was an old man with white hair, who was born thin and covered with a thin quilt. It is hard to see anyone on the floor, and the head is covered with messy hair at this time, and he is asleep!
